A Happy Tail
by Ogee
Among the greys and browns of our December garden are little pockets of color, life… and many happy tails. The roses are having their last hurrah, with a cold snap now upon us. A yellow rose symbolizes friendship. Something we have in abundance here. People from all walks of life bonded by a common goal of saving lives and seeing dogs on their journeys home.
